The nonnegligible lightness of gravity: physicists verify that even gravity itself has weight
Article Abstract:
An experiment devised by researchers Eric Adelberger, Blayne Heckel and Stefan Baessler of the University of Washington is used to establish the equivalence principal of gravity. The experiment proves that both the earth and the moon at identical rates toward the sun, with all distorting influences accounted for. A detailed description of the experiment is given.
